What does it mean?
English expansion: Terrorist Financing
Funding terrorists, terrorist organizations or terrorist acts; the resources may come from lawful or unlawful sources.
How is this concept used?
Terrorist financing concerns resources supplied for terrorist persons, organisations or acts. Its focus is the prohibited purpose or recipient, and the relevant evidence of that relationship. The funds need not originate from another crime. This distinguishes the concept from simply identifying criminal proceeds.

A common misconception
Lawful earnings do not rule out misuse; an address label alone does not prove a person’s intent.
